Speaking in the House of Commons, Sir Edward Leigh, the Conservative Member of Parliament for Gainsborough, questioned ministers on the wisdom of possibly allowing the blast furnaces at Scunthorpe to shut.
It was a pleasure to visit Willoughton Primary School and speak to the pupils, teachers, and staff there.
They were taking part in UK Parliament Week, an annual event across the United Kingdom that raises awareness of Parliament, its activities, and how it functions.
Many of my constituents work at the Scunthorpe steel works, but this is an issue of national importance.
There is no other major developed economy in the world that would ever dream about giving up their blast furnaces, the only way we can make virgin steel.
Sir Edward Leigh, the Conservative Member of Parliament for Gainsborough, has welcomed the news that the government’s auditor will investigate Home Office plans to temporarily house illegal migrants at RAF Scampton and other sites.
